Winter 2011 52DC – Day 51

Got up a couple of minutes earlier than usual this morning. Had my coffee/whey protein drink and a Greek no-fat fruit on the bottom yogurt. Headed out the door.

First things first – did 300 swiss ball crunches mixed with some push-ups and chin-ups. Then headed on to do Workout B – of HIAH Get Strong Phase 3 – the Unilateral One. The Dumbbell Single Leg Dead Lifts were a joke – no balance this morning. Less than usual – no idea – just was. May never get past assisted Single Leg Squats. I will just keep at it.

Once I finished that workout, I did 10 more Hanging Leg Raises and Dips. Did another set or two of chin-ups and another set of push-ups. Long work out.

In the locker room, I had my Plan B shake which was another one of those yogurts blended with 6oz of water and 3/4 scoop of whey protein. When I got home, I did another two sets of push-ups. Left 50 more for the evening.

When I entered my numbers, I realized that I had shorted myself from my goal. My 3600 Body Weight 5 ended up like this:

Hanging Leg Raises: 1115/800: It would have been nice to do 10 more and even it off at 1125.

Dips: 1106/800: Just 4 more to make it 1110.

Push-ups: 4040/800: I will do another 200 tomorrow – outside the gym.

Swiss Ball Crunches: 5510/800: I may take the Swiss Ball out of the basement, clean it off and do another couple of hundred crunches. A mere 90 will give me 7 times the goal of 800.

Chin-ups: 695/400: This is the one that hurts. 5 more and I would have been able to claim 700. Damn.

Tomorrow morning is my BNI meeting. So no early morning gym. The question is: Can I find a little time to get in a workout tomorrow – maybe lunch time – really only need 15 minutes – will not even work up a sweat. It will take me more time to change than to workout. Hmmmmmm.

Saturday night is a Dinner Dance with an open Bar and lots of food – most of which will be other than Low Carb. The timing could not be better. The 52DC is over – no reporting – Yippeeeee.

WOW! WOW! WOW! The 3600 challenge has nothing on you!!! You have to be so proud of yourself! You accomplish so much…your drive never ends does it?? Great job on another awesome challenge for you! We are lucky to have your motivation with us here!

I’m good with a side cjallenge, I haven’t had the crap kicked out of me by anyone in a while so I’m up for a beating!

Few suggestions;

Weighted Swiss Ball Crunches. I love em.
One of my circuits calls for 25/15 35/15 45/15 for the three sets.
these things work my abs glutes and quads.

Push ups, any type, I usually do 50 Bosu ball push ups as part of my warm up circuit. I like declines,. strait up, If we choose push ups count them all, (unless they are the girly pushups they aere teaching my daughter in 8th grade gym class)

Can’t do Heavy dead lifts, bench press, conventional squats. Doc knows I will push the envelope on any of these exercises and would prefer I stays away from them.

as long as it’s a conventional exercise I’m good. Not sure I could keep up wityh you on some of thiose crazy moves you do!
